This is a PCI 3D / 2D graphicscard that is for dual monitors and it has support for Open GL decompression. Because it is called 'ATI VisionTec Radeon7K' I think it is based on the older RV-100 based card.

After reading http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Download I downloaded DRI-Radeon.pup based on this from the page:

4 In Xvesa I installed 3DCC for 2.12 and installed:
DRM to /usr/local/DRM-Kernelmodules-pup
OpenGL
The radeon.pup which is for the 7000 Graphics Processor.
(Note The box for my card lists it as this processor.)
5 I rebooted then shutdown and tried to enter Xorg again but the same thing happened as above in 3.

Mark I was off work today. I spent the first 3 hours of my day looking at the Xorg file. I changed it many different ways after reading your basic instructions on how to use the console as to not conflict with the Xorg wizard.

I have learned a lot today, mainly Linux does what you tell it to do. I think I'm loosing my Windows thinking all together which is a good thing as it teaches me how to be a better want to be programmer.

I tried getting rid of the second monitor in the file and I tried other things that didn't work.

I used your instructions both ways as stated in the above post and after using no GUI I got the same result: Xorg cannot display the GUI.

Each time I changed and tested something I switched between Xvesa and Xorg using the console or the command line.

Based on this I believe my card even though it is based on the 7000 driver, isn't compatible with the driver because it is a VisionTek card that is more for design work and never was a card for gaming. I think Windows has the only driver for this card.

I'll just use the great 2D graphics the Xvesa driver gives me with this card and when I buy a new system, I'll get one for Linux with a proper card and modem.

Thank you for your time but unless you or someone else has a brainstorm, I just don't see this working.

I was editing /usr/X11R7/bin/Xorgconfig instead of /etc/X11/Xorgconfig.

When I edited the right file to get rid of the second monitor as talked about above everything worked. I didn't have to install a driver as Puppy and PizzaPup already had the same driver installed out of the box.

Everything works now as far as the graphicscard working in Puppy. Now I will try to install DRM and OpenGL. The card does work however.

Sometimes I can't see the forest because all those trees keep getting in the way.
